On the other side.
Chen Ningshuang reluctantly followed Jiang Che back to the Jiang family villa.
The moment she stepped into the Jiang household, she was utterly stunned.
[This... this scoundrel is indeed a lecherous man!]
A blush spread across her cheeks.
At the same time, Bai Jie, who was hidden among the maids, naturally noticed the new girl by Jiang Che's side.
[Again... again? How... how could Jiang Che bring another girl?]
[No! It can't be!]
Jealousy flared up in Bai Jie's heart once more. She had severely underestimated the extent of her Jiang Che's philandering.
Jiang Che glanced at Bai Jie unintentionally.
The young girl was wearing a black mask, resembling a certain mask-wearing sister who adored dolls, but she was far more beautiful.
Just then, Bai Qiangwei descended from upstairs.
"Jiang Che, Yao Yao and Wan'er are already asleep... Who is this?"
"This is Chen Ningshuang, the woman who injured me before. To atone for her sins, she volunteered to stay by my side as my personal maid!"
Jiang Che, with his thick skin, had coerced and tricked her into coming with him... but in his words, it sounded like Chen Ningshuang had willingly thrown herself at him.
Sure enough, Chen Ningshuang's face darkened, and she wanted to say something... but she bit back her words.
She dared not offend Jiang Che, fearing his wrath and the consequences it might bring upon the Chen family.
[Chen Ningshuang, you must endure. You've already suffered his humiliation before; this is nothing compared to that.]
The naive girl was still clinging to her dream of enduring hardships for a greater cause.
Bai Qiangwei gave Chen Ningshuang a cold glance, already understanding Jiang Che's intentions.
After all, having been by Jiang Che's side for over a month, her worldview had been thoroughly reshaped.
"From now on, Chen Ningshuang will be responsible for dressing me and helping me with my daily routines."
Jiang Che's words caused Bai Jie, among the maids, to tremble. Wasn't this... taking over her duties?
And so, she stepped forward!
"Jiang... Jiang Che, what about me?"
Bai Jie began to feel uneasy. Ever since that day... her love for Jiang Che had grown even more obsessive.
"You? You don't need to do such tiring work anymore!"
Jiang Che naturally wouldn't neglect Bai Jie, this little infatuated girl.
Bai Jie: "......"
The girl lowered her head, her expression shy yet tinged with a hint of secret joy.
Jiang Che then glanced back at Chen Ningshuang.
He took a moment to appraise this cold beauty. Chen Ningshuang's coldness was aloof, carrying an unparalleled sense of pride.
In truth, women like Gu Lingfei and Bai Qiangwei were also quite cold, but they couldn't show it in front of Jiang Che. Their aloofness was reserved only for outsiders.
And Jiang Che... well, he had a particular fondness for this kind of demeanor.
"Take this outfit!"
Jiang Che pulled out a white ancient-style Hanfu from his system. The all-purpose system had once again proven its usefulness.
"Change clothes?" Chen Ningshuang looked at the exquisitely crafted Hanfu in her hands, momentarily stunned.
[What is this scoundrel planning?]
Jiang Che gave Chen Ningshuang another look. He had long wanted to see her in Hanfu!
Chen Ningshuang was a classical, cold beauty. In a cultivation world, she would undoubtedly be a celestial maiden. Dressed in Hanfu, she would surely be breathtaking!
"Put this on. After all, as my maid, you can't be wearing something so outdated and shabby, can you?"
[You scoundrel! What do you mean by outdated and shabby? That's a training outfit! What do you know?]
No matter how furious Chen Ningshuang was inside, she maintained a docile appearance on the surface.
Truth be told... she was also curious to try on this Hanfu.
"Jiang Che, where is the changing room? I'll go change."
The naive girl even asked Jiang Che where the changing room was.
"Oh, follow me."
With that, Jiang Che led Chen Ningshuang to a bedroom.
"Jiang Che, you... you can leave now."
Chen Ningshuang lowered her head, admiring the Hanfu in her hands, marveling at its exquisite craftsmanship.
"No! I'm not leaving!"
Jiang Che's words left Chen Ningshuang stunned.
Her expression quickly changed, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.
[You scoundrel!]
Jiang Che felt a bit helpless. Chen Ningshuang kept calling him a scoundrel, while Yu Wan'er alternated between "pervert" and "trash fish."
Was he really that bad?
"Jiang Che, you must be joking. I'm just your maid. There's no need to humiliate me like this!"
But before she could finish, Jiang Che interrupted her.
"Do you believe that with just one word from me, the Chen Family Village could become the Chen Family Graveyard?"
In an instant, a terrifying aura gathered around Chen Ningshuang, carrying a hint of murderous intent.
But just as quickly, the aura dissipated, replaced by an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
She... had no choice but to endure the humiliation.
......
"Alright... I'm done!"
When Chen Ningshuang turned around, her eyes were downcast, and it seemed as though a few tears had fallen.
As the pride of the ancient martial arts Chen family, when had she ever suffered such indignity?
And the moment she turned, Jiang Che's eyes lit up.
He was utterly captivated!
